About this map

Lexington-Fayette dominates the landscape of the Bluegrass region in this detailed survey, showcasing a mix of dense urban development and the sprawling estates that characterize the area's equestrian identity. Prominent educational institutions like Transylvania Univ and Spencarian Coll anchor the city center, while named neighborhoods such as Ashland Park and Chevy Chase illustrate the established residential fabric of the mid-2010s.

The northeast corner transitions into the more open terrain of Fayette County, where North Elkhorn Creek winds past Howards Grove Cemetery and the settlement of Muir. This map captures a moment of suburban expansion, with newer developments like Thoroughbred Acres and Eastland Park encroaching on the rolling fields and established properties like Dixie Plantation. Features such as Bryan Station Spring and Reservoir Number 4 highlight the essential water resources supporting the region's growth.
